Hi, I was hoping someone could direct me to a foundation suitable for my skin.

I have extremely dry skin on my face and I have eczema so it can flare up bad if I use perfume products.

I also want a foundation with good coverage because I have really dark under eyes.

I have tried loads, clarins, estee lauder double wear, clinique, urban decay, no7, Bobbie brown etc etc..

I've tried quite a few, and they are either ok but don't get the coverage I want or too thick for my skin.

Also a primer or moisturizer if possible. Fingers crossed someone gets back to me 🤗 thanks.

If you are struggling with really dark under eye circles have you tried using a colour corrector before foundation/concealer? Most foundations will be too think to build up enough coverage to disguise under eye darkness. Nyx do a cheap palate for about £11 that has a range of correctors you can mix and match to help you get the right combination for your skin. Make sure you pat it on and not rub when you put it on. Then you can tap your concealer/foundation over the top.
I have used the bare minerals foundation as it's buildable and if you use a concealer or flat dense eyeshadow brush you can really pack it on to cover under the eyes. It's not moisturising but it doesn't dry your skin out either.
